- When his mentor is found dead in a locked clocktower, the clockmaker’s apprentice must rise up and solve the puzzle of a seemingly unfixable watch, leading him to the truth behind the clockmaker’s death and the map to a miracle cure that might save his dying best friend.
- For fans of the Blackthorn Key series, The Time Keeper is a heart-thumping historical adventure featuring a layered mystery, illustrated clues, a well-devised puzzle that readers can try to solve alongside the characters.
- Meagan Mahoney, a female physician herself, delves into the history, struggles, and triumphs of women in medicine in 1900s Edinburgh, one of the most medically advanced places in the world at the time. Some of the women named in the book are real people who shaped history.
- Mahoney balances a thoughtful mystery with highly emotional stakes; as an orphan helpless against larger societal powers, the main character steps up and steps into his mentor’s shoes as a clock repairman, finding a community in his fierce desire to protect his loved ones.
- Mahoney’s debut novel, Meranda and the Legend of the Lake, was nominated for the 2023 Forest of Reading Silver Birch Fiction Award, IODE Violet Downey Book Award, and R. Ross Annett Award for Children’s Literature.
